L1335 does NOT look to be the Scots Modal subclade. It looks to be larger than that so I am starting a new thread on its entirety. All we know for sure is that it falls under DF13 and that L743 is an apparent subclade (maybe a private one.) It's fast approaching qualification for the ISOGG tree. I expect it to make for a seventh large and/or old subclade of DF13 with DF49, DF41, DF21, Z253, Z255, L513 being the other six.

Here are the L1335+ confirmed people so far. Of course the most interesting is the last guy. 19706 Price does not fit the Scots STR signature. Other than 391=10, he's quite a bit different with what's known as the Wales II/Cadwgon signature.

The below list is a group of suspects that fit the W2 signature of 1335-W2: 448<=18 391<=10 456<=15 464=15,16,17,17 - MacDougall is a little iffy.We need these guys to test for L1335 to validate Price's L1335+.

What about L1334, that's found downstream of L1335? How widespread is it?

The lone L1334+ is MacMillan, the WTY participant, within whom both L1335 and L1334 were found.

The "*-" is the equivalent of a double asterisk. In this case it would mean L1335+ L1334- L743-. Herbert is, like MacMillan, a YCAII=19,22 variant of Scots modal. There has been a thought perhaps L1334+ was pervasive across YCAII=19,22 people. At this point I wouldn't say that but I think we have to the exploratory testing going.

Herbert shows a GD of 16 at 67 from MacMillan so we shouldn't necessarily think 1334-Sc-22 is a young subclade or even just one subclade. There could easily be coincidental convergence to 19,22. The suspect MackMillan's should definitely test L1334.

Interesting that there's a MacDougall, kit 74305, in the 1810-W2 cluster that has now, with Price, kit 19706, tested L1335+. MacDougall traces his mdka to Scotland.

So, you have the big Scots Cluster that is L1335+, and a group with some Prices (and one variation, Priest) and a Miles (kit 1059) who identify Wales as their ancestral home but which also has at least one Scot (MacDougall) in it.

MacDougall - and L1335 - make me wonder how Welsh that cluster will remain. I'm not saying it isn't really Welsh; it's just the weight of L1335 is tilting toward Scotland, and even in the 1810-W2 cluster you have, so far, at least one Scot, which rouses the old police-trained habit of suspicion in me . . . hmmmm . . .

Copied this over from the other thread

--McDugall as a name itself points towards Gall-Ghaeil (Norse-Gael). In Irish it's Mac Dubhghaill -- the son of Dubhghaill (literally "Black Foreigner") the word usually used to refer to specifically the danish vikings. Of course it appears that it became a first name over time (and survives as such as Dugal to this day). Other surnames related to the "base name" include Doyle, McDowell, McDouall etc.

Of course to remember that the Irish sea was very much the domain of the GallGhaeil during the period 900-1100. After all the Kingdom of Dublin at times also ruled the Kingdom of York (Northern England) and of course the Kingdom of the Isles & Man.

Robert Hughes is the person, as far as I know, that identified the Wales II/Cadwgon cluster. He posted this on Roots web on Dec 22nd.

Several emerging SNP’s from the Geno 2.0 test results have possibly revealed some interesting details about the genetic legacy of the UK and the peopling of northern Scotland, northern England and now mid Wales.

SNP R-L1335 is linked to a clade that I called “The Great Scots of Scandinavia” in my R-17-14-10 Project. This clade’s signature is foundin Norway, Sweden, and Germany, in Ireland and in Scotland down through north England. Now my Modal 2 Cadwgon of Wales clade is also linked to SNP L1335. I failed to link the two generally because I was still thinking “inside the box” of one general location only per Y-DNA modal. Think the Ui Neill.

Actually, L1335 now seems to be a fairly large group and the researchers say it may have several branching downstream snp’s.Having R-L1335 Scandinavian dna in the middle of Wales (Radnorshire) and in Marcher territory may mean that the CadwgonElystan Glodrydd hired Norse mercenaries to fight for him. Of course, the Marcher lords could have had the same idea.An interesting clue is in one of the Welsh L1335 clade surname of Miles. It can mean a soldier or warrior.

Another interesting possible religious connection is between the L1335 Welsh surnames of Price, Priest and Preston and the Scots L1335surname of Templeton in Scotland.

SNP’s like R-L1335 with its Norse connection and R-L144 with its possible Irish Viking connection to the Viking movement from Dublin to the Wirral in 902 AD are becoming like little archeological “shards” of dna to aid both the historian and the geneticist as they add to the history of the Atlantic Isles.

There is still a lot of testing going on to find the genetic range of L1335 so my theory may yet dissolve into a richer, even more robustphylotree of Norse emigration.

Debbie Kennett and others are going to have to start a new chapter for their books soon. And hopefully, she can describe how the various disciplines combined their discoveries and added to our sharedhistory.

I saw that and was tempted to post a comment on Rootsweb but didn't figure it was worth it.

He does seem to think that at least some of the L21 in the Isles is of Scandinavian origin. I tend to think that the other way around is more likely, although I realize anything is possible and that there were Beaker Folk in SW Norway who could have been, at least in part, L21+.

When it comes to L1335 in Scandinavia, however, I am pretty well convinced it's of comparatively recent Scots origin.

David Reynolds thinks L1335 is ready for ISOGG approval right under DF13. I saw his submission to ISOGG. I don't think he'd mind me copying his note since it is all general information and a good summary.

David Reynolds wrote:Results returned today should complete the ISOGG requirements to addL1335 to the tree under DF13 and change the "Big Six" to the "BigSeven."

The separation from Wales II to the Scots modals is large, proving L1335 to be old. I don't think it is the oldest subclade of DF13. My guess is DF49 or Z253 will win that honor.

I haven't done it for a while but I tried to do interclades for the large subclades of DF13 and I included the Irish II/South and Scots modal people. If I remember right, the oldest interclade was between DF49 and the Scots folks.
